This paper proposes a tempo feature extraction method based on the long-term modulation spectrum analysis. To transform the modulation spectrum to a condensed feature vector, the log-scale modulation frequency coefficients are introduced. This idea aims at averaging the modulation frequency energy via the constant-Q filter-banks. Further it is pointed out that the feature can be extracted directly from the perceptually compressed data of digital music archives. To verify the effectiveness of the feature and its utility to music applications, the feature vector is used in a music emotion classification system. The system consisting two layers of Adaboost classifiers. In the first layer the conventional timbre features are employed. Then by adding the tempo feature in the second layer, the classification precision is improved dramatically. By this way the discriminability of the classifier based on the given features can be exploited extremely. The system obtains high classification precision on a small corpus. It proves that the proposed feature is very effective and computationally efficient to characterize the tempo information of music.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
